Your smile is one of your greatest assets—don’t let teeth grinding or a sudden sports injury take that away. At Dental Comfort Associates in Kearny, NJ, we help patients protect their teeth with high-quality, custom-made sports guards and night guards. Whether you’re an athlete or someone dealing with bruxism (teeth grinding), a personalized guard can make all the difference in preserving your oral health.
Why Every Athlete Needs a Custom Sports Guard
A well-fitted sports guard isn’t just an accessory—it’s essential protection for athletes of all ages. From contact sports like football and hockey to recreational activities like skateboarding and basketball, accidental collisions and falls are common. A custom sports guard cushions your teeth and jaw, helping to prevent:
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Lip and cheek injuries
• Jaw fractures
• Tooth loss
Unlike store-bought guards, custom sports guards from Dental Comfort Associates are designed to fit your mouth perfectly. They stay securely in place, allow for easier breathing and speaking, and offer superior comfort and protection.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Grinding your teeth at night may seem harmless, but over time, it can lead to serious dental problems. Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth until their dentist sees the signs—or they start experiencing symptoms. Here are a few red flags:
• Jaw soreness or tightness upon waking
• Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
• Worn-down or flattened teeth
• Chipped enamel or tooth sensitivity
• Interrupted sleep or partner noticing grinding sounds
A night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding together and reducing strain on your jaw muscles.
Custom Guards Made with Care at Dental Comfort Associates
At Dental Comfort Associates, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We create custom sports and night guards designed specifically for your mouth, using high-quality, durable materials. The process is quick and comfortable: we take a precise impression of your teeth and create a guard that fits snugly, offers optimal protection, and feels comfortable enough to wear regularly. Our goal is to help you prevent damage before it starts—whether on the field or while you sleep.
